Chapter 068 Thorough investigation of the incident

There was no sign of Shengjia's return to Luan. After returning to the palace, Kangxi ordered the palace to be strictly guarded, and everyone was not allowed to enter or leave. It was also because of Concubine Hui's secret help that the elder brother was able to pass the news back to the mansion.Yinhu entered the palace early this morning, and Chen Xi followed, so now there is no one in the mansion who can inquire about the news, so they can only wait anxiously.

When Wan Ning returned to Baylor Mansion, Mrs. Zhan had already led Mrs. Qi Jia, Mrs. Borzigit and Mrs. Lang to wait in the lobby. When she saw her coming back, she didn't care about her dissatisfaction, so she took a step forward and asked: " Just now Ba Ye sent someone back, he only said that the emperor was driving back to Luan, and told people to thank the guests behind closed doors without saying anything else, does Ci Fujin know what happened?"

"The emperor's royal driver suddenly returned to Beijing. There must be some urgent business." Wan Ning untied the strap of the cloak, took it off, and asked Lianqiao to hold it, "Since the eighth master sent a message to thank guests behind closed doors, how can this period be like this?" Don’t go out unless necessary. The corner gate is watched by the nanny in charge, and only the servants in charge of purchasing can go out; if it’s not fully warmed up today, Eldest Brother and Er Gege are always weak and airy, you guys Stay in the mansion safely for a few days."

"However, my concubine, Erniang, sent a post a few days ago saying that I will come to visit the mansion tomorrow, and the eighth master also agreed." Qi Jia bit his lips, "I haven't seen my wife and my wife for quite a while. .”

"Sister, why should you worry? With such a kind heart, Fujin will not let his sister meet your mother." Zhan squeezed the handkerchief to cover the malicious smile at the corner of her mouth, "Besides, Fujin can get out of the county palace so quickly Come back, I must have known it well."

Wan Ning cast a sideways glance at Zhan Shi, ignored her words at all, and just said to Qi Jia Shi: "It happened suddenly, but in the end it was Ba Ye who allowed your mother-in-law to go to the house. You can ask Ba Ye when he comes back tonight." " Sipping a sip of tea, he said again, "Nowadays the atmosphere in the capital is tense, and you'd better keep your mouth shut on weekdays, and don't talk about things you don't have. Ba Ye loves you so much, but it doesn't mean Lord will not punish those who flirt out of nothing."

"Yes." Zhan's face turned pale, and he quickly answered along with the others while twisting his handkerchief.

Lang looked at Zhan with disdain. This woman really thinks that she is great after giving birth to the eldest son of the Eighth Master. It is a blessing for the elder brother to be able to grow up safely in his current body. She also wants to compete with the son of Fujin for the favor of the Eighth Master. , is simply wishful thinking.She herself didn't think about her identity, if it wasn't for the concubine Hui and the concubine Liang who looked up to her, what ability would she have to enter the Babeile mansion.

"I advise you to stay calm," Lang said after walking up to Zhan's side, "Think about who you are, and don't think that Eighth Master valued you by letting you raise your elder brother. If Master Ba is not happy, he can still take Big Brother away from you."

Zhan's back froze, but she didn't turn her head to argue with Lang, but gritted her teeth and walked quickly to her yard.

I thought that Yinhu would come back when it was the usual time for Luoya, but today it was approaching Haishi, and there was still no sign of Yinhu, and there was not even a person who reported back to the government.A strong bad premonition suddenly rose in Wanning's heart.A bitter cold wind passed through the courtyard, bringing another cold wave.

On this side, Wanning waited anxiously in the mansion, while on the other side, the entire imperial hospital was mobilized to treat the injured and unconscious prince.The prince's injury was actually not serious, but he hit his head when he fell into the water, and the head is always one of the most vulnerable parts of a person, so it is imperative to take care of it.Moreover, it was not accidental that the prince fell into the water this time. At that time, Kangxi saw the prince teaching the younger brothers to swim in order to strengthen the relationship between brothers.But somehow in the water, the rope tied around the prince's waist suddenly broke, and the prince fell into the water unexpectedly and touched the reef at the bottom of the water.

"Brother, why do I think something is wrong?" Ninth elder brother Yinzhen stood beside Yinhu and whispered, "The prince is good at swimming, and it was taught by Khan Ama, even if he fell into the water, he couldn't swim. Come up, let alone hurt your head. Tell me, is someone going to murder the prince."

"Be careful, don't talk nonsense." Yinhu gave Yinhu a warning look, "Now that Ama Khan is angry, don't talk nonsense to make Ama Khan unhappy."

"Understood, I'll tell my starling." As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his eyes and saw Concubine Tong accompanying the Queen Mother, bringing Concubine Hui, Concubine Yi, Concubine Rong and Concubine De. There is no secret that can be kept, just take a look, several concubines are here. Why did Er Niang join in the fun?"

The one who was injured was the crown prince. Except for Concubine Tong Gui, the other four concubines were all grown-up elder brothers, so of course they wanted to inquire about the news.Especially Concubine Hui, if something happens to the crown prince, the elder brother will naturally become the most favorable heir to the throne. Concubine Hui doesn't show her face, and she even cooperates with the queen mother to show a worried face, but what is she thinking in her heart? Several concubines knew it well.

"Hey, I send my greetings to the Empress Dowager, and to all the ladies." Li Dequan came out and saw that the Empress Dowager and others were there, so he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "The emperor heard that the Empress Dowager is coming, so he specially ordered the servants to come out to greet her."

"How is the prince?" the queen mother asked repeatedly.

Li Dequan looked at the concubines behind the empress dowager in embarrassment, and whispered, "You will know when the empress dowager goes in and have a look." Then he bowed to Concubine Tong and the others, "The emperor said, the concubine is too tired to travel, so she should return to the Qian Palace first Rest. If there is an imperial doctor here, the ladies can go back to the palace first and wait for the news." The specific meaning is that you don't have to ask for news, and the Qianqing Palace does not welcome any concubines.

Concubine Tong knew how to advance and retreat, she nodded and led her close maid back.Then came Concubine Yi, Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui, and Concubine De.Concubine Hui's thoughts are easy to guess, but Concubine De's actions are puzzling. Anyone with eyes can see how she is related to the fourth elder brother, but the fourteenth elder brother is young, so it is impossible for him to have any thoughts.

Everyone knows that De Concubine seldom thinks about the fourth elder brother. This is because when the fourth elder brother was born, De Concubine was just a noble person and could not raise the child by her side, so the fourth elder brother was taken to Empress Xiaoyiren, who was still a noble concubine. , It was not until 28 years after Empress Xiao Yiren died of illness that she returned to Concubine De.At this time, Concubine De already had her youngest son, the fourteenth elder brother, so she was naturally not close to a son who was raised by others. In addition, the fourth elder brother was restrained, and there was always an embarrassing atmosphere between mother and son.

Yinhu secretly observed the expression of the fourth elder brother, and saw that his brows were slightly frowned, and his eyes wandered between the distant concubine De and the fourteenth elder brother, and suddenly came up with a somewhat absurd guess: this time the prince fell into the water, could it be the German concubine? What did the concubine send someone for?Not for the sake of the eldest son, but for the fourteenth elder brother.Yinhu has always been very clear that if Concubine De was able to climb from a wrapped slave to the current concubine position, and let Khan Ama raise the flag for her family, the city must not be low. Yinzhen seems hearty and impulsive, but he is in Germany. Where can a concubine grow up with simplicity go?

"Greetings to all elder brothers." Li Dequan welcomed the queen mother in, and Li Yu, another eunuch in charge beside Kangxi, came out and said, "The emperor has an order to ask all elder brothers to rest in the palace tonight. The slave has already ordered people Let's tidy up the place for you elder brothers, it's getting late, brothers, let's go and rest first."

Kangxi's move was also to prevent the elder brothers from revealing the news to the outside world, but he didn't want his sons to have leaked the news to their respective houses.Yinhu looked at the sky, sighed, followed Yinhu and Yin'e to elder brother's place.

Fortunately, the prince's injury was not serious, and the heat subsided after taking the medicine. When Yinhu returned to the mansion, he had already woken up from his lethargy several times.Kangxi conducted a thorough investigation immediately after his precious son's injury was stabilized. From the guard who was in charge of pulling the rope to the eunuch who was waiting on the side, none of them were left behind.

"Han Ama is really annoyed this time." Yinhu said after taking a sip of Laojun's eyebrows, "Qi Jia just sent someone to ask, I asked Chen Xi to answer."

"Master, do you want Qi Jia's mother to come back later?" Wan Ning knelt on the couch and pressed his head behind him, "But Qi Jia said yesterday that she and her mother have been living together for a long time. I haven't seen each other, and I'm not afraid of her being sad."

"Now Khan Ama is paying close attention to every move in the capital. The prince's injury is definitely not an accident. At this time, he should not communicate with the ministers of the court." Yinhu closed his eyes, "Chen Xi will make it clear to her. Mrs. Qi Jia She's a smart person, she will understand. And I heard that Zhan's been very restless recently? "

"It's just that I like to be sour and jealous, so don't take it to heart." Wan Ning said, "It's just that I was listening to an opera at the eldest brother's house yesterday, and the eldest brother didn't care about it, so he directly injured the prince. Say it." Yinhu himself was only vague, and he was not as unscrupulous as the big brother at all, "Besides, I don't know if I was thinking too much, the big brother seems to have plans to put people in our house, Yesterday, he also said that he would send a few opera singers to our family."

"Brother is acting more and more perversely now." Yinhu sighed, "The prince's injury this time may make him act more recklessly. Now even Hui Erniang is bewitched by him, and she is no longer as cautious as before."

"Elder brother likes to make friends with military officers, which must be disrespectful in the eyes of the emperor." Military officers symbolize military power, and elder brother's behavior in this way, in the eyes of Kangxi, who is getting older, is undoubtedly a sign of rebellion.Wan Ning said softly, "It's just that Concubine Hui has kindness in nurturing me, what is my plan?"

"How can it be..." Yinhu didn't give a clear answer.He has a natural indecision in his temperament, he is full of gratitude to Concubine Hui, and even a little grateful to Eldest Brother, after all, when he first entered the study, he relied on Eldest Brother to protect him from being bullied.

"Master!" Chen Xi ran in hastily, "The father of Empress Concubine De has been sent to prison by the emperor!"
